SEL-1DEC2

MPEG-2/H.264 Universal Decoder

Selenio™ MCP3

Electrical to Electrical (EES)

The Selenio SEL-1DEC2 Universal decoder module can decode any CODEC video streams from H.264 or MPEG-2, SD or HD in both 8 and 10 bit modes, and supports up to eight audio streams, as well as the processing of any supporting data insertion via VBI, VANC, or Serial Data.

The decoder is built with the latest silicon architectures, and is suited for distribution and contribution applications. It provides a high level of compatibility with the Selenio SEL-1ENC1 distribution and SEL-1ENC2 contribution encoder modules and other industry encoders. The SEL-1ENC2 and SEL-1DEC2 used as a pair can deliver a low latency of 250ms guaranteed end to end, making a perfect contribution solution for interview or sports applications.

Optimized for primary contribution applications — including studio-to-studio post production, stadium, surveillance, or satellite uplinks— the Selenio SEL-1DEC2 contribution decoder delivers a full complement of features in a space- and power-efficient footprint, and resets the standard for simplicity in the H.264 era.

The flexibility of the Selenio decoder makes it ideal for production and distribution applications. Coupled with other modules in the Selenio MCP series, this multi-function decoder addresses applications such as multiformat satellite decoding, confidence monitoring and much more.

The Selenio decoder module provides the flexibility of decoding multiple standards of video from standard-definition (SD) and low-resolution formats through to 3 Gb/s and other high-definition (HD) formats. It also supports all the latest audio standards to provide a single-card solution for every need without resorting to a variety of card types. Up to eight channels of MPEG-1 Layer 2, Dolby® Digital, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, Dolby® E or SMPTE 302 (uncompressed) audio can be supported. Audio outputs are provided as unbalanced AES or embedded audio.

In addition, VANC and VBI data are re-inserted back into the video signal.

Front Module Connectivity
The SEL-1DEC2 decoder application module is interconnected with the two controller modules for SDI/ASI, 100Base-T for control and monitoring and 1000Base-T for data applications. The primary and backup reference signals are distributed as well.
